Kevin Hart: I Will Host the Oscars One Day!

Kevin Hart may be giving up his stand-up comedy career, but that's okay because the funny man has much bigger aspirations.

Hart tells me that he is pretty confidant he will host the Oscars one day.

"I think in time it will come," Hart, 36, told me at CinemaCon when I asked about the possibility of following in the footsteps of Chris Rock, Ellen DeGeneres, Hugh Jackman, Billy Crystal and more. "I think when it comes, it will be right. I'm definitely not turning my nose up to the opportunity.

"I think it's a stage and I think as a comedian it's something that you want to say you did in your career," he continued. "So when I do, trust me I will make my presence felt. And I think once again, the timing will be right. I'm not in a rush, I'm not going anywhere."

Just a few days ago, Hart co-hosted the MTV Movie Awards with his Central Intelligence co-star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

Perhaps that was one of Hart's Oscars auditions?

"We know eventually it's going to happen," Hart said. "I'm just being patient about it, that's all."

He'll will next be seen his stand-up comedy tour flick Kevin Hart: What Now? andCentral Intelligence and as a voice in animated The Secret Life of Pets.

See you at the Oscars, Kevin!

Kevin Hart Might Be Quitting Stand-Up Comedy Forever

Kevin Hart might be moving on, and fans won't be too pleased.

The comedian said Wednesday at Las Vegas' CinemaCon that he might be done with stand-up comedy forever, according to Variety. "I don't know if I'm ever going to go out and do it again," Hart told theater owners, adding that his What Now? adventure was "my last f--king tour."

Fans have taken solace in the fact that What Now? is the subject of his upcoming stand-up movie, Kevin Hart: What Now?, so if you didn't get a chance to see him live, you'll be able to see him on the big screen—a place Hart has become quite familiar with given his success in the Ride Along franchise and Get Hard. The upcoming movie features Hart in the middle of his world tour and ends with his sold-out show at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

He was the first comedian to sell out an entire NFL field. His tour ended April 1 with a final performance in Johannesburg, South Africa.

WATCH: When will Kevin Hart host the Oscars?

Footage of his upcoming movie was played at the Las Vegas convention, the highlight of which was Hart parodying Denzel Washington's character in The Equalizer. Rather than use a corkscrew to take down Russian gangsters, Hart opted for a wine opener and wound up doused in blood. The preview was aired after people got a good look at the latest Jason Bourne installment.

"I say that is pretty good," Hart quipped, "but mine is better."

Although he kept the funny going from start to finish, whether he was joking about Jason Bourne or entering the presentation like a famous boxer, Hart also turned on serious mode for a moment, telling the audience that he is onboard the laughter-is-the-best-medicine mantra.

"I believe that laughter heals all wounds," he said. "It's a goal of mine to make people understand the power of laughter…I'm that person that you can laugh at."
